Jamie Oliver Yorkshire Puddings With Water

Jamie Oliver Yorkshire Puddings With Water

Jamie Oliver’s Yorkshire Puddings made with water follow the same traditional method but replace milk with water for a lighter finish. They rise beautifully in the oven and remain crisp while keeping the classic airy structure.

Ingredients

Scale

    • 140g plain flour

    • 4 large eggs

    • 200ml cold water

    • Salt and pepper (to taste)

    • Sunflower oil for the tin

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven

Place a muffin or Yorkshire pudding tray in the oven at high heat (220°C/425°F). Add 1 teaspoon of oil in each hole and heat until smoking hot.

Step 2: Prepare the batter

In a large bowl, whisk flour, eggs, water, and seasoning until smooth. The batter should be lump-free and slightly runny for a perfect rise.

Step 3: Rest the batter

Let the batter sit for at least 15–20 minutes. Resting helps gluten relax and improves lift in the oven.

Step 4: Pour the batter into the hot tin

Carefully remove the hot tray and quickly fill each hole halfway with batter. The sizzle ensures crispness.

Step 5: Bake until tall and golden

Bake for 20–25 minutes without opening the oven. They should puff up with crisp edges and a golden, hollow centre.
